Synopsis

Rather than the books, which were set in a Victorian era, the mini-series was set in modern times and follows the story of two half-brothers, Karl and David Scott. Karl and David are flying on an airplane through a storm. Their father, Frank Scott, decides to let Karl take over and falls asleep. Karl flies them into a storm, which strikes the plane and the small aircraft crashes just off the coast of Dinotopia.

Marion Seville takes the place of Sylvia Romano, who is Will 's love interest in the books. She is the love interest of both brothers in the series as well and they fight over her several times. In the first book in the series, during their time in Treetown, Will joins with the others boys and scares the girl's in their quarters by making Tyrannosaurus rex noises. In the movies, Karl sneaks into the girl's quarters and asks Marion to go swimming with him.
